Ivan Retoslav and the VHLM Draft

[eagle_3450 278]

With the VHLM Draft now behind us, Ivan Retoslav is now officially a member of the San Diego Marlins. Everyone on Team Clue in the JST and in the Las Vegas Aces locker room told Retoslav that he wasn't giving himself any credit when he estimated that he was going to be in the 4th-5th round. It appears that they were all correct in their assumption as he was drafted by San Diego 17th overall. Retoslav, who is yet to have major success in his young career is now on a team that looks to be building for a championship run in Season 83. After coming 2nd in the JST and being knocked out of the WJC without a medal, the young Russian is excited to have a major role with San Diego if they do go for the championship next season. Retoslav commented that he was quote, "very excited" to play for the Marlins, and he hopes that he will put up some points. We have definitely seen what he can do, as in the playoffs of the JST he alone put up 5 points in 12 games. Meanwhile in the WJC he put up 2 points in 4 games. Retoslav's point totals seem to be consistently around 0.5 points per game, so we can estimate that he will rack up around 36 points in his first season in the VHLM.
